The leading innovator in fiber and technology solutions for the textile and apparel industry around the globe, The Lyrca Company, recently announced the launch of LYCRA® DUAL COMFORT technology for ready-to-wear (RTW) and wovens. The latest technology will serve to provide functional performance benefits with sustainable features in garments that today’s customers prefer.
LYCRA® DUAL COMFORT technology uniquely blends comfortable stretch and cooling comfort with lasting shape retention. And making this possible is the new LYCRA® T400® A EcoMade fiber developed using a proprietary process where the new fiber delivers the texture and appearance of a spun yarn, offering low-impact, comfortable, versatile garment with thermal comfort.
Following are the benefits that customers will enjoy while wearing garments made using LYCRA® DUAL COMFORT technology:
- All Day Comfort: Garments move with the wearer and hold shape throughout the day
- Cooling Comfort: Helps keep the wearer cool & dry
- All-round Sustainability: LYCRA® T400® A EcoMade fiber is obtained from recyled and renewable content for reduced impact vs virgin fibers.
LYCRA® DUAL COMFORT technology is the ideal solution for the garment needs of today’s customers who want the best of both worlds – agility in performance with elegant looks. This combination, therefore, helps cater to cross-segment apparel categories – workleisure or outerleisure.
“Now that we’ve experienced all-day comfort, we expect versatile clothes made from sustainable fabrics that provide the freedom to embrace a casual, comfortable lifestyle,” said Ebru Ozaydin, strategic marketing director at The LYCRA Company.
“Fabrics which offer versatile solutions can take the consumer from working hybrid to running daily errands or just a stroll in the park. The term ‘new utility’ has become a buzzword for defining lightweight apparel, combining everyday practicality and urban elegance using low-impact materials.”
LYCRA® DUAL COMFORT technology is only available at mills licensed by The Lycra Company. For more information on this new fiber technology, watch The Lycra Company’s recent webinar or visit www.thelycracompany.com
